I think it is reasonable not to want to wait until mid-terms. Given my location and familial duties, I don’t think I can effectively protest, but I agree with the efforts of people that choose to.

Given the utter incompetence on display so far, I at least don’t think the Trump administration will be able to do away with or ignore the mid-term results. That said, unless the mid-term results are truly impressive, I don’t think a (third) impeachment will result in an end to the Trump administration and the beginning of a Vance one.

Be safe out there.

PR, DC, Guam, American Samoa, definitely others I don’t have on the top of my mind. Are the Marshal Islands inhabitable, again?

Eh, I had to take my Saturn (previous vehicle) to the dealer several times. The car before that was ruined by a “shade-tree” mechanic, so when I lived in the same city as the dealer I preferred that.

I’m with you on right-to-reapir tho. It would have been better if the diagnostic methods and parts were available from other than the dealer (and maybe they were and the local guy just didn’t want to mess with it, doesn’t do a lot of EVs at his shop). But my experience with cars is mostly that dealers have that advantage whether you go electric or not, and I prefer electric.

Still let me know if I can do something to improve right to repair for me or others.

IME, (2019 Volt) maintenance costs are lower with a PHEV. I have needed to take it to a dealer to deal with a OBD2 code that neither I nor my local mechanic could resolve, but the replacement part and labor was reasonably priced.

https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ – Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other “decentralized filesystems” that have “better” behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

I see editability as generally an improvement, especially since the older versions are still visible with a couple of clicks. Reddit titles are not editable. Tweets used to be uneditable; toots are.

What’s the conversion to nuYen, chummer?

(My first and formative experience with cyberpunk is actually Shadowrun 2nd Edition)

Having only cooked on radiant electric and gas, I gotta say I prefer the experience of cooking on gas, but not by enough to accept the documented risks, even if they are small. I hope at some point I’ll be able to have an induction range top as my primary.

Oh, my primary diet is beans, quinoa, nooch, and almond milk. Snacking is popcorn with, evoo, and Kernel Seasonings ™.

I still eat meat not infrequently, but not everyday, and I rarely prepare it for myself. Still, I should avoid it more. It’s unnecessary, and even just a couple of years ago, I ate it less of it.

The food I cook for my family does involve the maillard reaction for some of it (salmon patties, roasted veg, french fries, lasagna, pasta w/ meat sauce). I pressure cook the chicken and rice, so I think that mostly avoids maillard. I only eat on the family food to clean it out of the fridge when I don’t think it’s worth serving to anyone else.

Thank you for your concern.

The “othering” of opponents is how human deal with conflict and prepare themselves for violence since time immemorial.

Dehumanization is a really slippery second step. Fascists aren’t the only people that find themselves doing it.

This isn’t meant as an excuse, just an explanation. IMO, this fatal shooting is not an act to be celebrated.

No !haskell@programming.dev ? How the mighty have fallen.

It’s still my favorite for now, though I do find Idris and Purescript compelling, too, for different reasons.

Since the Maillard reaction and all its VOCs are the most likely source of meat-related cancer risk, I will gladly eat pink (but safely cooked) meat. In fact the center pink bits are my favorite parts a traditionally cooked steak / prime rib.

The information I have says sous vide is not as good as a “standard” reverse sear in an oven. But, I haven’t tried either.

My experience is that the “crust” on meat is entirely optional, and while I don’t aggressively avoid it, I don’t seek it out when I am preparing my own meat.

The few times I have prepared meat while trying to minimize the maillard reaction, it was still quite tasty.

That said, I agree that cancer risk is relative, and you can’t avoid all risk, even if you are happy to try.

I hear sous vide steak can be quite tasty.

Yes, the ask is treating ATCs as a collective; they should do some collective bargaining.

I think so. When I first saw the announcement, I was fearing some barely open source license, and was pleasantly surprised.

I don’t know what the official pronunciation is, but I always read it as Ooo-bee-soft.

Wire (https://wire.com/) uses the same OTR / double-ratchet encryption primitives as Signal, but focuses more on self-hosting, and supporting organizations that want to self-host (for whatever reason).

I believe GNU Jami, well-deployed is capable of Signal’s level of security while being self-hosted.

Could be right-on-right violence. Wasn’t the 2nd person that targeted Trump a self-identified conservative?

See if @WorkingFamilies@mastodon.social is backing any candidates in your area during the next race. They also try to build working-class solidarity through mutual-support events, too.
